To everyone saying this isn’t a simple DIY, I managed to make a similar anvil (while much less pretty) using almost the same process just wayyyyyy cheaper (lot more files, sandpaper and hacksaw blades) but none of it is necessarily complex work it’s just labor intensive. If you’re bored, stuck in the house like most of the world right now it’s a FANTASTIC project that’ll keep you occupied for hours and you’ll get even more hours of use out if it once it’s done. You could even take a foot long section of rail and literally just sand and file the edges and you basically have an anvil. Most of what this legend of mechanics is doing is really high level cosmetic stuff to add to the beauty and functionality of the anvil when in all reality you don’t really NEED the horn on the end or the hardy hole or even the beautifully sanded and blued finishes. Just something heavy and sturdy that can take a beating (polishing the top surface of the anvil will lead to slightly less marring on whatever it is you’re working with but again it’s all cosmetic) and you gotta great tool that’ll last years! And shouts out to the man himself for making such a quality video (as always)

Several blacksmiths have commented that the best way to use a rail as an anvil is to turn it on end and polish that surface, mount the rail in a stump with that face up (essentially the end of the rail) and use that as your striking surface. That way you preserve the total mass of the rail to absorb your blows. Otherwise, to make it pretty, you are removing almost half the mass.

@Renville80

Luke Kelchner A neighbor had a father so cheap that when he built a summer cabin, he did so out of material scavenged from houses that were being torn down in town (even down to plumbing and wiring). So my neighbor was often given the task of hammering bent nails straight that were either picked up off the ground at the demolition sites or pulled from boards being salvaged for reuse! The ‘anvil’ for this purpose was a chunk of rail about the same size my mechanics started with. (And before you ask, the neighbor is gradually replacing the wiring and plumbing in the cabin with new material as his ongoing remodeling allows).

Rail is made from a manganese steel alloy. New rail has a radius at the top; as the trains wear it flat, the running surface becomes tougher, without being brittle. Therefore, find a worn piece of rail for the project, and avoid taking too much of the tough skin off the top to retain the durability.

Beautiful anvil, I’m heading to the rail yard Monday to pick up a piece of track. You did a wonderful job thank you for the video and the inspiration.

What a masterpiece! Brought tears to my eyes.

Awesome Job!! Some of you don’t understand the satisfaction of a job well done. I had a paint and body shop and taking a pile of dented metal and making it look like new again does a body good Keep on grinding 👍

You can actually do work with a piece of RR track the way it is. That anvil is only good for jewelry or bending nails or hooks. Mass is what is needed for a workable anvil. Take you track ,flatten the majority of its surface then round over a portion , round over the edges in different radii. Weld a piece of square tubing to one end for hardy tools and drill a pritchel hole in it some where. Now you have a workable knife makers anvil. Be careful not to use to large of a hammer. 1 1/2 pound hammer can do alot of work, hooks, candle sticks, hinges, knives, hatchets. Small items make money. You can use a rock for an anvil, the forge is the important thing, get the steel hot enough to work it but not hot enough to burn it. Learning to take a piece of steel and make it yield to your will with heat, brawn and brain is an awesome feeling. I started with less than $50, if you are interested message me and Ill show you how. Good luck.

"Got no milling machine?" Come on guys, who doesn't have a 6 axis 480V 3 phase milling m/c in their home garage? We don't need angle grinders anymore :P

:P if you find one, get me one, too. I would also take a CNC controlled one....

You don't need six axes or 480V. My knee mill works fine at 240 with three axes.
